WRITE DYNA FILE

 

This function allows the user to output an LS-DYNA data deck directly from the DSI database.

 

1. Enter a file name (up to 24 characters).  The .dyn extension is suggested for LS-DYNA files.

 

2. If the file name already exists, the program will prompt the following message:

>      FILE NAME ALREADY EXISTS, O.K. TO OVERWRITE. (Y/N)

¡¤         YES will overwrite the existing file.

¡¤         NO will prompt for a file name.

 

3. User selects ANALSYS UNIT and parts output mode (FULL MODEL or Active Parts Only), inputs File Name, Analysis Title, Engineering¡¯s Name and Project Name.

 

 

4. After clicking OK, DSI displays the CONTROL TERMINATION CARD if a termination time has not been specified yet.  Once the card is defined and the user selects OK, the DYNA deck is written.
